Setting the bar for innovation in the mortgage sector

In a recent edition of CMPTV, Brian Hogben, the principal broker and founder of Mission 35 Mortgages shared his insights into how Mission 35 Mortgages was named as an Excellence Awardee in the Digital Innovation in a Brokerage award as well as the key indicators behind the brokerage’s success.

Mission 35 Mortgages was created with the goal of achieving financial security by paying off mortgages early, he explained. The name of the company came from Hogben’s vision to achieve financial security by the age of 35, envisioning a life without a mortgage. His late father played a critical role in teaching him financial management and guided him in purchasing investment properties. After achieving success with his goals, Hogben chose the name Mission 35 Mortgages serving as a tribute to his late father and to represent the company’s commitment to helping Canadians make sound decisions when investing in their own properties and homes.

Hogben shed light on Mission 35 Mortgage’s innovative approach to agent training too, which played a key role in its Digital Innovation nomination. Hogben firmly believes that mortgage brokers act as essential financial consultants, and that there’s a serious lack of proper training in the mortgage sector. As a result, he developed the Mission 35 Academy, an online learning platform designed to fully equip new brokers with the skills needed to succeed, comprising of eight live training sessions per week. This personalized and comprehensive training is taught by award-winning mortgage professionals, catering to both new and established agents, fostering collaboration and the sharing of knowledge within the brokerage.

Hogben also emphasized the importance of embracing technology in the mortgage space. Hogben believes that technology is a key component in offering an exceptional customer experience and that it plays a vital role in meeting customer expectations. He explained that technology plays a critical role in streamlining experiences, enabling remote collaboration and participation, and most of all plays a role in building trusting relationships with customers.
